I prefer to keep the factory firmware reset to a manual process that requires user intervention.
For example, holding down the reset button for 10 seconds after plugging the device in.
In my experience, it's not a good idea to have a device automatically roll back firmware and erase user data after failed boots. These mechanisms get triggered too easily during certain power outages (power comes on then goes off just long enough to cause multiple failed boots) or when users are doing simple things like rearranging their power cables.
